I thought I was getting some orange soda or something, but colour me surprised when it turned out to be lethally sweet iron brew. Like the old stuff.
I'm so happy

Scotland actually does have old school Irn Bru again, called Irn Bru 1901, which is meant to be the full sugar old-timey recipe. Confirmed for disgustingly tasty.
Scotland once again being one of the least cringe western nations.
eh, pretty hit and miss, plus they don't catch nearly enough flak for their role in the slave trade... The Scots were rampant. For such a small population, they have given a hell of a lot of Carribbean people and towns Scottish names.
At one point Scots owned 30-40% of the Jamaican slave estates, and by some estimates, Scottish men, despite representing about 10% of the United Kingdom's population, represented 50% of the slave tradesmen in Jamaica, and about a third of British slave traders overall.
There's definitely a lot to be said for their historical role, but modernity wise I'd definitely laud it is as up there in the not-so-cringe tables.
